I keep seeing post after post about people who have had or are being abused by overbearing uncaring sneaky mothers.
This article helped me to understand this alot with my own mother and helped me to know that I am not crazy, it is her. Also it helped me to know that nothing I do for her is going to help her see what she has done and I no longer have to try so hard to make her happy. She won't be happy no matter what I do so I can stop wasting my energy on her. I wanted to share this with all of you who struggle daily with the question of what you have done to deserve such horrible treatment from her. You have done nothing wrong. You are not crazy! She is sick and most likely cannot be cured because she will never be able to see that she is the problem. You can finally give yourself a break. http://www.geocities.com/zpg1957/n...

Hi Carina,
My mom has narcasistic personality disorder and this article is very interesting. I'm going to cut and paste this article and send it to my NPD mom when I pay off a loan that she grudgingly let me do.

Problem is, she probably "won't get" that it's about her...
I have started to carry a copy around with me for the times when other people start to try to tell me how wonderful my mother is and how I am being harsh about her.

You are right.
My mom "won't get that she has a NPD! I'm not going to bother. I forgot that people with NPD always believe they are right and everybody else is inferior.

You are right. They never get better! They have different brains than us. I'm sorry, you had to endure this with your mother, I too had to endure it as well. It was only years later, that I realized, no matter what I do, or say, it will never he right for her, good enough etc. It's not me, it's her.
The sad thing is, it's hard to not have a caring, loving, normal mother. Life is hard enough, but even harder when you have bascially no mother. Thanks for sharing.

Oh gosh yes, my sister the NPD person thinks she is royalty, you should be honored if she even acknowledges you, and nothing you do is as good as what she does or has. She thinks you think that about yourself. She assumes I know this about myself, and don't bother competing, cause I just could never win. I could go on and on. Really sick, wierd ppl.

Hi Carina, thank you soooo much for posting this link. This IS my mother and it makes me feel sane to know that she has this disorder. I just can't quite figure out what happen to end up relatively normal!!

Oh my god... so much of this sounds like my mother! My brother was always the golden child... the only difference is that my mother wasn't abusive physically... it was verbally... Thanks so much for sharing that link... At this point in time, I've moved away from my mother, she was manipulating my kids and trying to turn them against me. Communication with my brother ceases about 5 years ago, and since last October, I am no longer speaking with my sister or mother. My dad passed away 13 years ago and it's really been since then that this has all started, just getting worse with each passing year.
Thanks again.

Hi,
My mother is the same, always wants to be in my life,not so bad now I'm older, but still have to play her game,always controled my life, and if we fell out she would try and use my sons to get to me. Like she was jealous of me, was not allowed to go out and enjoy myself. My dad was as bad, and they both worship my sisters,they could do what they wanted and sill do worship my sister's. They all go away on holidays and days out but never ask my sons and I if we would like to go. She ask the doctor to terminate my first child said I was not capable of bring up a child. My second marrige, my husband beat me up and rape me several times, they took his side when I divourced him, and so on. Sorry about going on, just makes me so angry

Thank you for this article, it completely explains my mom.
It really helped me to read about how people dont believe it when a child complains about a narcissistic mother. Also, there was a part that said something like the personality of a four year old is not the fault of the child. I've always wondered if I was just born with a character flaw that my mother and no one else saw. This article explains so much. Thank you again for posting it!
